- Kashaya Samudghat,
- Vikriya Samudghat,
- Marnantika Samudghat,

4. How for the soul-points are expanded in Vedna Samudghat ?
The maximum expansion of the soul-points in the Vedna Samudghat remains three times of the original body with regard to it breadth and length, but there is no such rule that soulpoints should expand three times, there may be increase merely by 1 or 2 soul-points. (Shri Dhavla, 11/18)
5. Whether Vedna Samudghat occurs to all living beings ?
No. As there is no intense pain to the Nigodia beings, the three times expansion of their soul-points of the original body is not possible. (Shri Dhavla, 11/21)
6. What is Kashaya Samudghat ?
The emanation of soul-points due to intensity of passion measuring three times of one's own body, is called Kashaya Samudghat Just as the warriors cast their angry looks towards their enemies in the war, which is apparently seen, this very is the form of the Kashaya Samudghat. (Kartikeyanupreksha, 176/115, commentary)
7. Whether the other beings are killed in Kashaya Samudghat ?
There is no such rule.
8. What is Vikriya Samudghat ?
The emanation of the soul-points for increasing/expanding the body or any organ of the body or for the transformation in other body-form, without leaving the original body, is Vikriya Samudghat. The Vikriya Samudghat occurs particularly to the celestial and infernal beings but it also occurs to the great-saints endowed with Vikriya supernatural power and living beings of the pleasure land (Bhog bhumi) or to the Chakravarti, etc. great personage. The Vikriya Samudghat also occurs to the Tiryanchas (Rajvartika, 4/47/4). The Vikriya Samudghat also occurs to the fire-bodied and air-bodied living beings. (Jeeva kand, 234)
9. How far the soul-points are expanded in Vikriya Samudghat ?
The soul-points are expanded up to the region of which one is entitled and within that range up to that region where the transformation is being done.
10. What is Marnantika Samudghat ?
The spreading of the soul-points, coming out from the body up to the next birth place. without leaving the original body before Antar Muhurta of the death, is called Marnantika Samudghat (Dravya Sangraha, commentary, 10). Just as on the transfer the civil or private employee, goes to the place of transfer and seeing the office and after arranging for the house etc. returns back and thereafter proceeds to the place of transfer along with his family members and personal effects.
11. What is Taijasa Samudghat?
One effigy of luminous body emanates from the right or left shoulder of some great abstemious Muni endowed with restraint due to generation of distinctive merey / pity or out of intense anger towards some living beings and the emanation of soul-points along-with that effigy, is Taijasa Samudghat. (Dravya Sangraha, commentary,
12. How many kinds the Taijasa Samudghat is ?
The Taijasa Samudghat is of two kinds - auspicious Taijasa Samudghat and inauspicious Taijasa Samudghat.
13. When the auspicious Taijasa Samudghata takes place and to whom ?
One white coloured and amiable effigy emanates without leaving the original body, from the right shoulder of such great ascetic who is filled with extreme mercy / pity being pained / moved seeing the disease, famine ,etc. of the world which after removing the famine, disease, etc. sufferings spreaded over 12 yojana comes back and enters its original body. (Dravya Sangraha, commentary, 10)
14. When the inauspicious Taijasa Samudghata takes place and to whom ?
When some great austere Muni is filled with intense anger then one inauspicious effigy of vermilion like red colour oftom-cat like shape, emanates/emerges from his left shoulder and burning his pre-thought of hostile object up to 12 Yojana, is itself destroyed after burning that restraintful Muni as well. Its height remains 12 Yojana, breadth 9 Yojana and originally extends measuring numerablth part of a Suchyangula (A large quanitity as a unit of area
measurment). (Dravya Sangraha commentary, 10)
15. Whether there is some speciality in both the Taijasa Samudghatas ?
Both of them occur to the Muni of the sixth stage of spiritual development (Gunasthana Varti) but the Upsama right belief, dyad translocational/ assimilating body vibration (Ahaarak Kaya Yoga & Ahaaraka Mishra Kaya Yoga) and Parihar visuddhi restraint does not co-exist with it. (Shri Dhavla, 4/123 and 4/135) and according to preaching of Gurudeva, it occurs only to the Bhava Purushvedi.
16. What is difference between both the Samudghat ?
17. What is Ahaaraka Samudghat ?
One white effigy of one hand height emanates from the top of the head of a saint endowed with Ahaarak supernatural power who is intensely inquisitive for ascertaining the nature of a suitable element (reality), then for getting the solution of that inquisitive-ness that effigy goes to the place where some omniscient or great ascetic well-versed in scriptural knowledge is seated and asking modestly and getting the solution of his doubt comes back and enters its original body. It also goes for visiting and paying homage to the places of pilgrimage. (Kartikeyanupreksha, 176/111, commentary)
This Samudghat occurs to the great Muni who is psychologically male and is of Pramatta Sanyata named sixth stage of spiritual development. This Samudghat is not accompained by Upsama right belief, Manahparyaya knowledge and Parihar Visuddhi restraint.
18. What is Kevali Samudghat ?
When the duration of the age of the Omniscient Lord remains only one Antarmuhurta and that of the remaining 3 non-destructive Karmas remains more, then the soul-points of the Kevali Lord emanate out of his original body in order to make the duration of all the nondestructive Karma equal through the medium of Danda (staff), Kapat (like gate / door), Pratara (area), and Lokapooran (universal pervasion), is called Kevali Samudghata (Kartikeyanupreksha, 176). Just as the wet dhoti dries up soon on spreading and does not get dry if it is not spreaded, similarly the Karmas become of less duration on spreading the soul-points as their duration does not become less without spreading.
19. What is the form of Kevali Samudghata ?
The Kevali Samudghata is of four kinds -
- Danda Samudghata - If the Sayoga Kevali is ensconced in sitting posture then his soul points expand three times of his body and ifin standing posture then the soul-points measuring his body-wide emanate and expand up to fourteen Raju long, less by measurement of atmospheric air-layers (Vat Valaya) vertically up and down (like a staff (Danda)) excepting atmospheric air layers (Vat valyas).
- Kapat Samudghata - Kapat means door, Just as the door opens right & left sides, similarly the soul point expand right & left. In case the Omniscient Lord is ensconced facing east then the soul-points expand every where in upside, in the middle and downwards up to seven Raju each, excluding atmospheric air-layers (Vat valyas) and if the omniscient Lord is facing north then the soul-points become one Raju wide in upper side, 5 Raju in the Brahma Loka, one Raju in the middle universe and 7 Raju wide in the lower side excluding atmospheric air-layers.
- Pratar Samudghata - In this Samudghat the soul-points expand in the remaining region infront and back side excluding atmospheric air-layers.
- Lokpooran Samudghata - In this Samudghat the soul-points expand also in the region of atmospheric air-layers, i.e. spread in the whole universe.
20. What is the procedure of entering back of the soul-points after Lokpooran Samudghat ?
After the Lokpooran Samudghat, the soul-points contracting gradually come in the Pratar, from the Praatar in the Kapat, from Kapat in the Danda and from the Danda enter back the original body.
21. What time it takes in completing all the Samudghatas ?
It takes eight instant time in Kevali Samudghat and Antar Muhurta time in all the remaining Samudghatas.
22. How eight instant time is consumed in the Kevali Samudghata ?
One instant time each respectively in the Danda, Kapat, Pratar and Lokpooran Samudghata is consumed and while returning back one instant each in the Pratar, in Kapat, in the Danda and in entering back the original body, thus total eight instant time is consumed in completing the Kevali Samudghat (four instant time while emanating the soul-points and four instant time while returning back into the original body).
23. Which Yoga (vibration in soul-points) remains during Danda, Pratar, Kapat & Lokpooran Samudghata ?
The Audarika Kaya Yoga (vibration of soul due to gross body) remains in the Danda Samudghata, the Audarika Mishra Kaya Yoga in the Kapat, and Karman Kaya Yoga in the Pratar and in Lokpooran Samudghata.
24. Whether all omnicients perform Kevali Samudghata ?
All the Jeevas who are to attain salvation are not required to perform Kevali Samudghata but whose duration of all the remaining non-destructive Karmas remains more than that of the Age Karma, those Kevali are required to perform Samudghata in order to make the duration of all the remaining four non-destructive Karmas equal. (Dhavla book, 1/304)
25. In which direction, these Samudghata take place ?
The soul-points in the Ahaaraka & Marnantika Samudghata move only in one direction but in the remaining five Samudghatas the soul-points move in all the ten directions.
26. How many Samudghatas take place in which life-course (Gati) ?
27. Which Samudghata takes place in which Gunasthana ?
The Kasaya, Vedna & Vaikriyaka Samudghata take place from 1 to 6 Gunasthanas, the Marnantika Samudghata from 1 to 11 Gunasthana (excluding 3rd Gunasthana) the Ahaaraka & Taijasa Samudghata in the 6th Gunasthana and the Kevali Samudghata in the last Antarmuhurta of the 13th Gunasthana.
